Tap at Blind Tiger. Pale straw colour with a light haze. Very light nose of light cherry esters over a light sweet pale malt base. There is a kiss of citrusy/orange hops. The flavour is quite nice. A little bit bready with a nice fruity yeast and a touch of spicy hops as well. Light yeast with a lingering bready component. Pretty solid.

Draught in the Rake. Alround rating: Pale biscuity malt, very fresh and you can really taste the freshly cracked malt, floral and light grassy hop, clean and fresh very refreshing. Impressed by the different aspect of this unusually low% american beer.

Cask at American beer fest White Horse London. Golden ale with small head. Hoppy, floral aroma. Fruity, pine, slight hoppy taste. Pretty boring blonde ale.

Tap @ The Rake. Clear gold with a white head. Nose of doughy, grainy malt, yeast and a little sherbet fruit, maybe a bit of wheat also. Taste is much the same with a little hop in the finish. Not outstanding but ok.

Clear yellow orange in color... Aroma unremarkable... Flavor much more subtle than the blondes I’ve had in Belgium.. Flavor is biscuity and has hints of caramel... Palate has a nice balance of bitterness and subtle hop character... Interesting version, not bad, a little weaker and less complex than its Belgian counterparts...

From tap at Brogatan. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is light sweet caramel and light floral hoppy touch too. Floral hoppy flavoured with a vague citrus to peach touch. Ends in a medium dry and mild citrusy flavoured finish.

Draught at Brogatan, Malmö. Clear golden coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of hops and grass with notes of pine needles. Fruity flavour of grass, hops and flowers with notes of spices. Dry hoppy finish.
